The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 49
Everyone has a corresponding value in the eyes of others.

Therefore, in Jia Zhen's eyes, Tang Qing'an, the daughter of Qin Ye, the fifth-rank clerk, was out of kindness towards him and a way to win him over.

Tang Qing'an was startled by Jia Zhen's words and couldn't react for a while.

Jia Zhen actually wants to match him and marry Qin Ye's daughter to him, that is, Qin Keqing from the Red Chamber.

This matter was not in his plan, because Tang Qing'an knew that this woman was indeed a big trouble.

Before crossing, he read some analysis.

Why after this girl died of illness, the affairs behind her were handled very seriously, and the nobles in the whole capital sent people to pay tribute to the funeral.

Even the prince came in person.

The four kings and eight princes of the founding family, except for the complete decline of the Shi family, there are many other honorable families, but the honorable family of the loyal family did not come.

The whole Jia's mansion, that is, the death of Jia's mother, is also eligible to enjoy this kind of treatment.

On the 49th of July [-]th, when the mourning was suspended, the whole street of Rongning Street was full of people coming and going, and officials came and went in clusters of flowers.

Some girls were buried with them, and some girls went to the temple to keep the spirit.

Don't say that Qin Keqing is just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, let alone that she is just Jia Rong's daughter-in-law, even Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law.

This is totally unreasonable.

The treatment she received during her lifetime was also unreasonable. The entire Jia family praised her, the thoughtful mother-in-law Youshi, the tricky Wang Xifeng, and the silent Jiamu...

In the end, Xue's wooden shop brought out a masonry plank coffin originally prepared for Prince Yizhong Lao Qiantui from the Huanghai Iron Net.

According to the analysis, Qin Keqing is actually the queen of Prince Yizhong. When Prince Yizhong's family was beheaded, people from the founding family protected Prince Yizhong.

In the end, Qin Ye came forward to adopt her, and she never revealed her identity.

As for why Jia Zhen used indiscriminate means to deal with Qin Keqing, she must be forced to death, because the situation at that time had changed, and the emperor had begun to monopolize power.

Deliberately forcing Qin Keqing to death, cutting off the friendship with Prince Yizhong who had passed away for many years, and indirectly expressing his opinion to the emperor.

Soon after, Jia Yuanchun was selected into Fengzao Palace and was conferred the title of Concubine Xiande by the emperor.

It's all dirty politics.

Tang Qing'an didn't want to be involved in this trouble, because it can be seen from this that although the emperor has never stated his position, he still has a thorn in his heart towards Prince Yizhong, who has been dead for many years.

It can be seen how much threat Prince Yizhong posed to the current emperor back then.

But he couldn't refuse.

I have to show a grateful smile, thanking Jia Zhen for her care and love.

"Your current official position is too low. When you have made meritorious service and promoted to an official position, I will go back to the Qin family to propose marriage for you. I will tell you in advance so that you can prepare."

Jia Zhen smiled.

He had already told his father. Although his father was dissatisfied and finally sighed, he did not reject his idea.

I just said something inexplicable, what a bargain to outsiders.

It is obviously a trouble, but my father thinks it is good for the Jia family. I can't help but sigh that my father has been isolated from the world for too long.

It's good if you can drag it.

Tang Qingan's choice of his wife was not Qin Keqing.

Accepting Jia Zhen's "kindness", he said goodbye to Xue's family, talked about some details, and rushed all the way to Shandong Chief Secretary.

Soldiers are actually very easy to recruit, but the hard part is the supply of money and food. Whoever has enough soldiers' pay will be tough when he speaks. If he can get a share of Liao's pay, his plan can be implemented smoothly.

The Chief Secretary of Shandong Province is based in Jinan Prefecture, and Tang Qing'an traveled all the way to Jinan City with a dusty face.

Jinan City is the capital of Shandong, and it is quite bustling with people coming and going. He is a small household with no sense of existence, and has no intention of being with ordinary people.

When we arrived at the Yamen of the Chief Secretary of Shandong Province, the entrance of the Yamen was square, and we walked forward, the road was divided up and down, and there was a lot of people's voices.

There are gatehouses on both sides of the gate of the yamen, guarded by sentries.

Tang Qing'an submitted the official document issued by Wei Si, and after entering, he followed the instructions of others and found a public house.

After waiting for a long time, someone came out to collect his official documents. Seeing that he was only a hundred households, he was surprised, but he didn't say anything. After a while, the man came out and told him to wait tomorrow.

On the second day, I continued to come and wait, but in the end I still didn't see it. I came back on the third day and was finally ushered in.

"Tang Qing'an, a hundred households in Donghai Fort, pay my respects to Mr. Canzheng."

Tang Qing'an knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Get up."

Tang Qing'an stood up in a regular manner, and stood aside with his hands down.

"What's the situation in Liaodong recently?"

Participating in politics is from the third-rank civil servants, local officials, and Tang Qing'an's identity gap, which can be said to be a world of difference.

In the eyes of participating in politics, a hundred households are no different from a white body.If it wasn't for the other party holding the name card of Jia's mansion, we wouldn't be able to see him at all.

Tang Qing'an didn't know why the other party would ask him, and he used his small hundred households to understand the situation in Liaodong, so he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

"The status of my subordinates is low, otherwise I will talk about the situation in Liaodong."

"Just say it."

Su Guan has sources of information such as residence newspapers, official documents, and the analysis of his colleagues, so he knows a lot about Liaodong.

But now, he wants to learn from the bottom of Liaodong to see if there are any different gains.

Although the other party said so, Tang Qing'an still answered very cautiously.

"The supply of soldiers in Liaoshen is increasing day by day, and the supply of weapons is continuous. The whole team works hard. As long as there are no mistakes, the barbarians will not be able to drive straight in."

"What could go wrong?"

Although the hundred households spoke vaguely, Su Guan still heard the meaning of the other party's words and asked directly.

"I haven't practiced drills for a long time, and the army has a lot of disadvantages. I have a fear of the battlefield, and my barbaric force is very strong. In the past, I had the power of the victory of Sarhu, and my morale was like a rainbow, so that we were able to defend but not fight. Although Shenyang has consolidated two important fortresses behind it, but Fushun City is not as strong as before..."

It's hard for the other party to dare to tell the truth, Su Jian nodded.

This person is very practical, and he speaks well, so he can be regarded as a talent.

"I can save it, you can go back, now the country is troubled, it is the time for you to serve, remember to do things with your heart, and serve the country."

Tang Qing'an was overjoyed, knowing that things were all right.

Going back to Liaodong is busy again, and the days in Donghaibao are numbered.

Time flies, a drizzle falls, and it is spring in a blink of an eye.

Starting from Shandong, the food and salaries transported to Liaozuo are different from those in the mainland, and still retain the tradition of sea transportation, which saves time and effort.

From Shandong to Liaozuo, from the nearest Dengzhou Prefecture to Jinzhouwei in Liaozuo, it can be reached in two or three days with smooth sailing, and many islands can stop along the way, so the seaway is very stable.

A young man, relying on the relationship of the Xue family, boarded a sand ship. The destination of this ship was different from that of the other ship, and it was transported to Donghai Fort.

The Liaodong capital has established a gunpowder workshop in Donghai Fort, and has begun to deliver supplies to Donghai Fort.

The gunpowder workshop not only produces gunpowder, but also needs to supply other utensils such as lead and cleaning rods.

The boss of the ship directed the ship out of the harbor and avoided the hidden reefs in the channel, so there was no danger ahead.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and came to the deck to breathe, saw the young man in front of him, and stepped forward to say hello.

I heard that this person is the third younger brother of the new Bei Yu of Donghai Fort.
